DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Proposed Subsequent Arrangement 

AGENCY: Office of Nonproliferation and 

International Security, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Proposed subsequent 

arrangement. 

SUMMARY: This notice is being issued 

under the authority of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The 

Department is providing notice of a 

proposed subsequent arrangement 

under paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the 

Agreement for Cooperation between the 

American Institute in Taiwan and the 

Taipei Economic and Cultural 

Representative Office in the United 

States Concerning Peaceful Uses of 

Nuclear Energy, done at Washington on 

December 20, 2013 (123 Agreement). 

DATES: This subsequent arrangement 

will take effect no sooner than 

November 19, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Katie Strangis, Office of 

Nonproliferation and International 

Security, National Nuclear Security 

Administration, Department of Energy. 

Telephone: 202–586–8623 or email: 

Katie.Strangis@nnsa.doe.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

subsequent arrangement concerns the 

alteration in form or content of 

irradiated fuel elements which are 

subject to obligations to the American 

Institute in Taiwan (AIT) pursuant to 

the 123 Agreement, and which are to 

take place in a hot cell laboratory at the 

Institute of Nuclear Energy Research 

(INER) in Lungtan, Taiwan. 

Approximately thirty-six irradiated light 

water reactor fuel rods are expected to 

be transferred to the INER hot cell 

laboratory for post irradiation 

examination and failure root cause 

analysis and 80 cans of spent fuel pool 

sludge from the Taiwan Research 

Reactor will be transferred to the hot 

cell laboratory for stabilization. These 

activities, in support of nuclear powerrelated research activities, are described 

in the ‘‘Irradiated Fuels and Material 

Research Program from 2014 to 2020,’’ 

dated October 2013 and in ‘‘Summary of 

the Irradiated Fuels and Materials 

Research Program from 2014 to 2020.’’ 

This subsequent arrangement is 

effective until December 31, 2020. 

In accordance with section 131a. of 

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, it has been determined that 

this subsequent arrangement will not be 

inimical to the common defense and 

security of the United States of America. 

Dated: October 9, 2014. 

For the Department of Energy.

Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear 

Nonproliferation.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy 

Collegiate Wind Competition 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Request for proposals. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE) requests proposals to 

participate in the 2016 Collegiate Wind 

Competition (Competition), which is 

administered by the National Renewable 

Energy Laboratory (NREL). DOE 

anticipates the award of ten (10) firm 

fixed price subcontracts under this 

solicitation. The anticipated period of 

performance is through July 31, 2016, 

with a funding availability of $20,000 

for each award. The Competition is 

open to teams of undergraduate students 

from two- and four-year institutions of 

higher education. 

DATES: The request for proposals was 

issued on October 30, 2014 and is 

available at wind.energy.gov/

windcompetition. Technical questions 

must be received in writing to NREL by 

November 13, 2014. Proposals must be 

received by December 15, 2014. The 

Competition event will be held in May, 

2016. Dates are subject to change. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons can find 

full details about the Competition 

online at wind.energy.gov/

windcompetition. Questions about the 

Competition can be sent to: 

• Email: maurice.nelson@nrel.gov. 

• Mail: Mr. Maurice Nelson, National 

Renewable Energy Laboratory, 15013 

Denver West Parkway MS RSF030, 

Golden, Colorado 80401. 

(The ADDRESSES caption includes any 

addresses that the public needs to know, 

such as where to mail public comments, 

where a public hearing (or meeting) will 

be held or where to examine any 

material available for public inspection 

or submission dates or due dates.) 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Questions may be directed to Mr. 

Maurice Nelson at (303) 384–7029 or by 

email at: maurice.nelson@nrel.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Department of Energy Science 

Education and Enhancement Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7381b) authorizes the 

Secretary to support competitive events 

for students under the supervision of 

teachers, designed to encourage student 

interest and knowledge in science and 

mathematics. DOE introduced the 

Competition in 2014 for the purpose of 

engaging the future workforce in wind 

energy. NREL administers the 

Competition for DOE. 

The objective of the Competition is to 

prepare students from multiple 

disciplines to enter the wind energy 

workforce. Currently, the wind industry 

has shortages in key jobs such as 

scientists, educators, design and 

research engineers, technical workers, 

and project managers. Wind-specific 

advanced degrees are not required for 

many of these jobs, but having wind 

experience is of high importance. The 

Competition is also aligned with the 

central goals of DOE, which are to 

catalyze the timely, material, and 

efficient transformation of the nation’s 

energy system, secure the United States’ 

leadership in clean energy technologies, 

and maintain a vibrant domestic effort 

in science and engineering as a 

cornerstone of economic prosperity. 

The 2016 Competition theme is to 

design, construct, and develop a plan to 

market a wind-driven power system, 

which includes an off-grid load 

supplied by the wind-driven power 

generator. The load shall be designed to 

perform useful work in an off-grid 

environment, be easily transported to 

the competition, tested safely and 

cleanly in the Competition 

environment, and provide a visual 

indication of the instantaneous power 

generated by the wind-driven power 

system. This theme focuses on effective 

electrical and electronic design of the 

wind turbine for efficient and safe 

control of the device, a load system that 

can match the power being generated, 

and an overall safe and reliable 

mechanical and aerodynamic turbine 

design. The Competition does not 

prescribe a market or a wind regime. 

The Competition consists of three 

multi-faceted elements. The technical 

element requires teams to design and 

build a unique wind-driven power 

system, develop and present the 

technical designs to a panel of judges,
